My son unfortunately ran into a double felony case with inhancements. After talking to many lawyers about his case I was referred to Kevin from another Law firm. After meeting with him we hired him for the juvenile case. Kevin is intelligent, has good respect within the juvenile courts and is a great communicator. He negotiated the plea deal down and also the inhancements disappeared and my son was able to get probation and after a year his record expunged. My son now has a clean record and can move forward in life. I would HIGHLY recommend Kevin Adamson.

I would recommend Kevin J. Adamson to anyone who needs representation in juvenile court cases. The first time we met him we knew we had an attorney who would advocate for our son, and he did! The system is confusing and can be very intimidating for all parties involved. He was extremely thorough in explaining the process of the juvenile court system, so there were no surprises. He is extremely responsive, thoughtful and pleasant to work with. He is also very knowledgeable about the law. He worked diligently on my sons case and ensured we got the best outcome. We are very pleased. We could not have had better representation. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone who finds themself in an unfortunate situation, as we did.

First off, he’s super nice. I was calmed down immediately when talking to him the first time. Kevin knew exactly what would happen in my sons case and explained everything. I felt so much better after we spoke. Best thing we ever did was hire him. Unfortunately this wasn’t our first time in juvenile court but the first attorney seemed like he didn’t care that much. Kevin was very different and spent time explaining everything even before we hired him. He was the best! He is the best!

Being new to California, Rudy was referred to me by a highly-respected Employment & Labor attorney from outside the Sacramento region. She said, "Rudy's your guy.
"You have a believable story. Rudy will be sure you get a fair shot. Call him."
I did.
Rudy returned my initial call promptly. He took time to listen to my story, asking thoughtful and provoking questions along the way. Within 20 minutes I had a clear understanding of the unique California employment laws I was up against. Rudy clearly laid out next steps he felt were available to me. Rudy presented two straight-up fee options, a super easy to complete online engagement agreement and then encouraged me to think about things before signing! He said "If I thought he could be helpful and I wanted to proceed, to call him back to meet the aggressive document timelines established by my employer."
I did.
Within 48-hours of engaging Rudy's services, he took full control of my case, and established an elevated level for consideration to my employer, offering a real sense of hope for me and my family. Rudy then said to stay calm, be patient and wait.
I did.
Over a matter on weeks, Rudy communicated directly with my employers leadership, human resources and attorneys, keeping me informed every step of the way. Rudy reported, "the company is moving slowly, but definitely moving in the right direction for you. Keep the faith."
I did.
The bottom line; Working with Rudy was an inspiring experience for me. Rudy knows his stuff, kept me informed, was straightforward, honest and true to his word. Rudy negotiated a fair agreement with my past employer at levels greater than I could have achieved on my own. Rudy's sense of justice, (vs. the dollar) is real and so refreshing. Did Rudolf Delson's expertice, leadership, guidance, and dedication to my personal employment case make a difference for me and my family?
YES, RUDY DID!

Sympathetic, friendly, analytical, and most importantly, effective. Highly effective. These are simply a few words I would use to describe Mr. Delson as my lawyer.
I had spent more years than I care to remember, giving everything I had to an employer I imagined staying with for the rest of my career. Then, in an instant, it was all gone. I was destroyed. I needed to hold my employer accountable but had no legal resources to turn to. Then I found Mr. Delson via Avvo.
Over the next few months, Mr. Delson reviewed my case in minute detail, collaborated with additional specialist counsel (the case was complex and extended way beyond pure-play employment issues), and devised the winning strategy.
Going up against a large company with expensive lawyers is not for the faint-hearted. If you are in a situation like this and are unsure as to whether you should proceed with litigation - talk to Mr. Delson. Now I am on the other side of this case, I couldn't be happier with the result.
Did I mention he is also a joy to work with?
Absolutely delighted.

Never did I expect I'd need a lawyer for my small business. Those types of problems happened to "other people". However, that day came and I really felt like I had no recourse. As a last resort, I talked to Rudy about my options and he knew I had a case. I was nervous, as this whole process was new to me, but he was so knowledgeable about the whole situation, guided me through my options and was able to parse through a complicated situation and break it down succinctly. I felt heard and taken care of, and thus, trusted Rudy's decisions from day one on the best approach—and we ended the process better than I ever expected. Thank you!!

This gentleman and his firm have been providing me legal services for over 15 years and Matt has been not only a great attorney, but a good friend. I find his entire firm and staff to be knowledgeable, efficient, and aggressive on my behalf. He has prevented several questionable situations from becoming a problem because of his ability to approach it correctly, and defend myself and company from situations which have occurred as the result of day to day business. He and his partner, Kyle are great attorneys and I highly recommend them both should you need an attorney.

We Hired Nick to help us with an issue with the Solar company. Nick is super knowledgeable and aggressive and he’s great at keeping in communication with you and letting you know exactly what is going on and what to expect. Would not have been able to do this without him and he didn’t needlessly run up our bill for stupid things. I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Earlier this year I entered into an agreement for an HVAC Contractor to do some major work on my home, but the contractor failed to complete the scope written in the contract. I refused to pay until the work was completed, but the contractor filed a mechanic's lein on my property. They dodged my contact attempts and seemed determined to take my home.
In a sea of personal injury lawyers on the market, I was lucky enough to find an attorney that new contract and construction law through and through. Immediately after my first consultation with Nicholas, I knew he was the man to get it done and felt relieved immediately.
Nicholas is the kind of lawyer that you want on YOUR side. His tenacious persona kept the contractor's company and owner on the defensive and gave them little room breathe or time to rest. He managed my expecations well, and always gave me the next steps on our game plan.
Within weeks, the contractor settled in my favor, rather face an expensive and futile court litigation.

El abogado Clemente Jimenez no sólo es un excelente abogado, sino un maravilloso ser humano, sensible ante la situación difícil por la que atraviesan cada uno de sus clientes. Desde el primer momento nos recibió con esa calidez que necesitábamos, realizando un excelente trabajo en el caso penal que estábamos atravesando. El cuidó cada detalle y utilizó cada recurso disponible, desde conseguir todas las pruebas posibles y documentos a nuestro favor, hasta contratar a un investigador. Siempre mantuvo una comunicación efectiva con el fiscal, trabajando duro y negociando a nuestro favor.
El abogado Jimenez logró que aceptaran a mi familiar en la corte de salud mental, debido a que existía un diagnóstico de salud mental, y finalmente fue un éxito, saliendo limpio gracias al arduo trabajo del abogado Clemente Jiménez.
Recomiendo sus servicios al 100%. Es difícil encontrar un abogado bilingue, honesto y especialista tanto en derecho penal como en derecho migratorio, más a parte con la sencillez y calidez como ser humano que lo caracterizan.
Las palabras en este review no son suficientes para expresar mi siempre agradecimiento hacia el abogado Clemente Jiménez. Gracias también a su asistente Karen que siempre estuvo ahí, también apoyando.

We will be forever grateful and highly recommend their services.

I very seldom write reviews but I feel compelled to tell people what a great experience I had with Benjamin Fox at Hubert Fox Trust and Estate law attorney office in Elk Grove California. One look at their website and you will feel at ease before you even pick up the phone. Dealing with attorneys can be very scary, at least it was for me. After just a few minutes speaking with Ben about a Trustee issue, I felt confident he knew what he was talking about and he explained my options in a very straightforward way without making me feel like an idiot. Ben has a natural warmth and grace that made me feel confident and comfortable to have him represent my best interests and speak to a judge and jury on my behalf. Ben was attentive to my concerns, requested to look at the Trust in question ,immediately reviewed the material and gave his advice free of charge. He spoke with clarity and honesty and he left a positive impression that I will not soon forget. Thanks,Ben!

Recently, I hired Counselor At Law Mr. Noel Lawrence to assist me in settling a matter with a company that takes advantage of senior citizens.
Because the seniors are not expected to live a long life, the company overcharges the seniors. The company is counted on the seniors to "kick off" soon, thus the company can keep the property and funds of the seniors. This is not true.
Mr. Lawrence knows his way around a courtroom. He went after the company with an intense professionalism. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Lawrence as a Counselor at Law. I found him to be extremely helpful with my situation.

As homeowners, we worked with Sean for nearly three years while he tirelessly represented us in a construction matter that left our home and property damaged, and a portion of it unusable. He was readily available, personally answering or returning phone calls and emails immediately. None of our questions seemed trivial. He was always willing to provide clarification and direction. This was extremely helpful since we are not versed in legal matters. We know he is well respected in the work he does for corporate entities, but he treated our case as equally important. We knew that while defending us and our home, he was working just as hard as he would for a much larger client while understanding that we had limited funds. Sean is honest, hardworking, respectful and compassionate.
We are happy to share that Sean’s efforts resulted in a favorable outcome. We have our home, property and lives back. It is difficult to put into words how grateful we are to Sean.

Our artist's cooperative was having difficulty working with our landlord. The landlord wouldn't work with us to improve several safety issues associated with the retail site. We hired Ms. Pheasant to give us legal advice on how we might proceed with severing our ties with the landlord. Her legal advice was concise and spot on. We followed her advice, drafted our letter, submitted it to our landlord and reached a resolution that was palatable to both parties. Ms. Pheasant saved us quite a large sum of money which, in turn, allowed us to look for a different retail space without the safety problems.

Joann helped us find a family lawyer in New York - we live in Washington - during a messy family law case. She not only put out a call to all her peers, but she looked up precedent info and reassured us about jurisdiction rules. Despite a full case load of paying clients, Joann was very responsive and helpful. And she didn't charge us for the advice she provided. This was over 3 years ago, but we are still grateful today for the handholding and professional guidance.

Mr. Meisner was thorough and insightful and did a great job advancing and settling the cases for my daughter and myself after a violent car accident.
He also provided preliminary paperwork and advice immediately that would prove helpful in assuring a smooth settlement.
He was proactive in keeping the case in motion, great in communication, and followed up after settlement to assure a proper close out. In short, he did an excellent job overall.
Without hesitation, I will certainly reach out next time I need a PI attorney.

We ran into a brick wall when requesting a legal upgrade to our existing mobile home in a Santa Cruz park. The park owner wanted it his way or the highway in conflict with Park Rules and the Law. He was devious and trying to use laws and rules that did not exist.
We hired Maurice due to strong recommendations by mobile home experts in the Santa Cruz area. He quickly did the required homework and demonstrated to the Park Owner's attorney that he was out of line but unfortunately he would not budge nor would he make himself for an in person conversation. So Maurice filed and won the required injunction so we could go ahead with our upgrade just as it was originally planned. He then followed through with a damage claim to cover legal and other costs including delay expenses which he also won. Under his guidance this process was seamless, went exactly as planned and with a successful outcome. Mission accomplished. Our thanks to Maurice.

Grateful for the guidance and expertise from Dahl's team. We found them through online reviews. After careful consideration, we decided to hire Dahl's team to represent our case. Dahl's team were in constant contact with us throughout the process. They understood the importance of time line, so they pushed hard on their end to complete the necessary paperwork on time. With their assistance and professional expertise in immigration laws, we were able to get my husband his green card approval in 9 months. We didn't get to work with Dahl, but his law clerk, Estefania Parra, was God send. She was efficient and responsive. I couldn't ask for a better representative. We plan to use their services in the future for sponsoring my in-laws. 10/10 I would recommend their services.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:
-
What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
